The other way to learn the meaning of a word
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (6):1117-1118 (2001)
| Abstract | Bloom's book can be viewed as a long argument for an anti-Whorfian conclusion. According to Bloom, word learning is usually a process of mapping new words to pre-existing concepts. But an exception to this generalization – the learning of words from linguistic context – poses a problem for Bloom's anti-Whorfian argument. | |||||||||
